What's wrong, babe? You've barely touched your soup-on-the-rocks

Garter stitch for #showmeyourknits! So excited to have this finished! It was knit in stripes and then strands were woven back through to make the plaid effect. Pattern is plaidage and yarn is @badsheepyarn.bsky.social! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

I highly recommend getting some wholesome, tactile, creative human activity into your timeline as a balance to current events and Takes™. Pay attention to the world, absolutely, but it is so important to remember this is real life too. Our small efforts and joys are real life too.

PSA.

Love the idea of #StitchSits (More of a stitch stand in Ada’s case!)

Honestly, there should be a whole feed dedicated to pictures of pets taking over projects lol 🧶 ...working title: Stitch Sits 😂 #knit #crochet

A powdered metallic pigment was used to create the stencilling that covers this velvet tea gown, already bejewelled through its choice of black & teal. Maria Monaci Gallenga frequently worked with these artisanal processes in the creation of her medieval-esque gowns @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Latest FO just in time for Pride: the Lace Bandana by Emerson Deerwood in Damn Good Yarn’s Twisting Rainbow Twist Sport Weight Silk. Serendipitously this pattern and yarn came to me at the right time for an easy win. Feels like I need those at the moment, don’t we all? 🧶 #Knitting #Knitsky

For Garter stitch week #ShowMeYourKnits: The Chiaroscuro scarf is based on garter, with the added complication of the twist and intarsia joins. It looks complex but was a super fun knit, the main difficulty being managing so many balls of yarn! 🧶 #Knitting #Knitsky

The partly finished butt area (diagonal lines to come) of my jeans, and the (steadily growing) blank canvas yet to be worked on at the front. #sashiko #visiblemending #craftsky #australian 🧶

Last week this was a pile of yarns and a couple of dowels. Weaving feels very quick to me, compared to all the other crafts I do (looking at the skirt I’ve been knitting for over a year now 😅) 🧶 #Weaving

is this anything

Happy #MakeATerribleComicDay

hey, i made a terrible comic instead of working #makeaterriblecomicday2025

The yellow theme for #showmeyourknits is so my jam! Today I've got the Pollinator Tank Top in this dreamy egg yolk color. Pollinator is knit from worsted weight yarn but it's cool and breezy, esp with the butterfly/bee lace down both sides! #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Evening dress, Rei #Kawakubo, 1991 There's a lot to love here. The beautiful hand-painted cranes give the dress a sense of life and movement. The rose gathering pulls the eye to the centre, only to be distracted by the red hem. A work of art. #dresshistory #fashionhistory #ootd #commesdesgarcons

darning your socks in the night is great and one of the best things you can do and not at all sad, actually. so the beatles were wrong about that

What are these two golden gals up to I wonder? There is something conspiratorial about them. Are they off to cause havoc amongst the gentlemen of their acquaintance or perhaps escaping a dull great aunt & her yappy dog. Yellow ensembles of the #1780s @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The crossover front was a popular bodice treatment around 1910, to suggest a softer more fluid style of dress. This embroidered electric blue was purchased from Liberty of London for £4 4s by a Mrs Rolls. Sold via #kerrytaylorauctions #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

So Im actually developing relocation assistance packages for people from the USA who’d like to move to Peru Not kidding
